If You are anything like me then You Looove French salad and cant wait for Christmas or birthday to make one.
One of the most important thing while making a salad is to slice the vegetables in very small pieces. And really, don't buy those "pre-sliced" vegetables for the salad, they are terrible.
I also never use a recipe while making it, instead I use my nose and my mouth and just add what is missing.
I start by cooking potatoes, carrot and eggs. Also once done, cool the potatoes so they are easier to slice. While those are cooking I slice sour pickles and a very small amount of apples ( only half an apple )
Once everything is sliced I mix it together, add the peas, mayonnaise for salad, just a bit of sour cream and salt.
Then I just mix it all and taste t see if I need to add anything, sometimes I add just a little juice of sour pickles as I prefer it more sour. You can also add pepper but don't overdue it if You are hosting as others might not like it.
Enjoy!!!
